Use when the user asks about AI coding jargon, wants to clarify a term like context engineering, harness engineering, prompt engineering, or agent harness, or when the agent needs to agree on a term definition before continuing a technical discussion.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

3 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈0

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 3

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    If the term is not in the dictionary and you cannot define it confidently, invoke research to find primary sources first.

    line 23
  2. Very specific:

    Use research when the dictionary does not yet contain the term and you need authoritative sources.

    line 27
  3. Very specific:

    Use teach when the user wants a full lesson instead of a one-line definition.

    line 28

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

AI Coding Dictionary

Overview

AI coding has a growing set of overloaded terms. This skill resolves them by pointing to the canonical definitions in docs/AI-CODING-DICTIONARY.md.

When to use

  • User asks "what is X?" about an AI coding term.
  • You are about to use a term (e.g., "harness engineering") and want to confirm the user shares the definition.
  • A conversation is drifting because a term is being used loosely.

How to use

  1. Read docs/AI-CODING-DICTIONARY.md.
  2. Find the term. If it is missing, add a tight definition following the existing format (one or two sentences, flag ambiguities, list what to avoid).
  3. Quote the definition to the user and ask if they want to add, edit, or remove any nuance.
  4. If the term is not in the dictionary and you cannot define it confidently, invoke research to find primary sources first.

Cross-skills

  • Use research when the dictionary does not yet contain the term and you need authoritative sources.
  • Use teach when the user wants a full lesson instead of a one-line definition.
